1/1 Goldner Circuit, Melba, ACT 2615

With its western side open to deep verge, shady eucalypts and long front veranda screened by rose bushes, this charming townhouse reads like a country cottage. Warm tumbled brick is matched with large windows in soft cream, tied together by a classic peaked roof in warm terracotta tiles.  

Situated within the quiet, leafy suburb of Melba, this charming three-bedroom home, occupies the first position within a boutique development, close to Melba High School, Tennis club, Wetland Park, and Half Acre Wood. A driveway ushers to a double garage with the convenience of sheltered entry into the house.

Within, easy-care timber laminate flooring flows to meet soft neutral walls, as large windows frame light and garden aspect. The combined living and dining is a sweeping social arena, at once generous and open and deeply private. One imagines chosen art on the expansive walls, an arrangement of comfy lounges and a large dining table set for plenty.

The adjacent kitchen combined meals, drifts to a secluded courtyard garden, perfect for entertaining. Think, spilling garden side on warm evenings, gathering with drinks in hand beneath the gazebo and the fiesta lights. There is a breakfast bar for relaxed family togetherness and banks of cabinetry for seamless storage. We love the artful art-deco flourish on the black tiled splashback and the tonne of storage, the quality electric appliances, including a dishwasher from Miele to make life easy. 

A bedroom sequestered from the rest of the home sits adjacent, with a large window overlooking the courtyard and a built-in-robe. This quiet room could easily be utilised as a home office, taking care of working and creating from home. 

A slender hallway ushers to two additional bedrooms, all with built-in-storage. The master has a large window that welcomes northern light and an ensuite bathroom softly illuminated by a well-placed skylight. Across the way there is a large family bathroom with bathtub and a separate toilet. There is also a generous internal laundry with great storage. Both bathrooms are finished in ceramic tiling in delicate notes of marbled grey. 

Timber retaining walls and neat garden boxes edge the easy-breezy rear courtyard, which stretches along the northern length of the home. This peaceful haven is big enough to please the green thumb, while remaining effortlessly manageable. We love the paved arena for lounging alfresco beneath the shade of the gazebo. Think perfect Sunday's lunching with family and friends, the firepit providing a warming flame as the light begins to fall. 

Melba is a suburb in the Belconnen district, positioned at the foot of Mt Roger's, and known for its family friendly, relaxed vibe and community spirit.
